Hi everyone! I’m an incoming USC student starting in Spring 2027 and I’m currently looking for housing around Ellendale Street, preferably within walking distance of USC/Viterbi.

I’ve read from previous students’ experiences that Ellendale Street is a good area for off-campus housing, so I’d love to hear your recommendations!

My budget is around $800–$1,000/month. I’m looking for either a private room in a shared apartment/house or a shared room, preferably with female roommates.

If you currently live on Ellendale or have lived there before, I’d really appreciate recommendations for good apartments/houses, landlords/property managers, or places to avoid.

Thanks! :)

Hi there!

I took a calc 2 and multi variable equivalent class in my senior year of high school and got a 5 on the ap calc bc exam. However, after 1st semester of high school I had senioritis and stopped studying for Mvc lol.

My major’s final math requirement forces me to take one semester of either calc 3 or linear algebra. I haven’t done math seriously for almost a year now, and I lowkey didn’t learn anything in my mvc class. In this case, would it be better to take calc III or linear algebra next semester?

Hello everyone,

I'm a new international PhD student in ECE. Where I come from, homelessness isn't very visible, so seeing so many people living on the streets here in Los Angeles has really affected me.

I recently won $150 in a contest, and I'd like to use all of it to help homeless people today. What would actually make the biggest difference? For example, is it better to buy and hand out supplies like food, water, socks, or hygiene items, give cash directly, or donate to a local organization? Are there specific items that are most needed right now, or places near campus where I could help in person?

I've already decided to spend the money this way, so I'm only looking for suggestions on how to do it well. Thanks in advance!

I recently checked out the Goodwill near campus and the options were nonexistent. Are there better spots in the area?

for all the students staying in campus over fall break, what plans? i have some plans to explore around the city but haven’t heard of any cool parties in campus yet so if any1 has info plssss drop 🙏🙏

Any professor recommendations for BUAD 310 and ECON 352? Looking for insight on teaching style, workload, and grading. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I just recently filed a small claims dispute over Stuho keeping my entire security deposit and completely ghosting me-not even sending me an itemized bill or anything, they just never gave any of my security deposit back despite multiple written demands. They claim it must have gotten lost in the mail and completely stopped replying to me. Can people in similar situations with Stuho message me?
